Stellar Development has extensive experience in

the hotel and hospitality industry. Our expertise has

been achieved by constructing and consulting on

projects as both the general contractor and as the

owner’s representative. This unique specialization

has been strengthened by working on multiple

projects, with repeat clients, and with a proven

qualified team, over a 13-year span. We were

founded on the premise that every project would

be delivered by providing exceptional service and

impeccable quality. We feel that a firm’s resume is

only as strong as the team who will be assigned to

build the project. We provide our hotel clients with

a team who understands the specific and complex

needs of the hotel owner, and has the qualifications

and industry background to deliver their project with

confidence and quality.

The Hilton Homewood Suites, Hilton Garden Inn and

the Marriott Townplace Suites are all located at

Avion Park in Tampa, Florida. The Avion Park project

is part of an 18-acre development which includes office

space, restaurant out-parcels, a parking garage and the

three hotels aforementioned. Stellar Development was

contracted as the owner’s representative to oversee all

aspects of construction on the entire project, from

ground breaking and construction activities, to assisting

the opening team with each phase of this unique project.

The project commenced with the complete infrastructure

and the installation of three separate storm vaults with

the capacity of over one million gallons of water.

During the site infrastructure phase, the general

contractor constructing the Hilton Garden Inn mobilized

and began construction. The seven-story post tension

project, which included board rooms, banquet facilities,

and a full restaurant and bar, was the first of its kind in

overall colors and appearance for Hilton. The project

remained on schedule and budget through the entire

construction process. Within a few months of breaking

on the Hilton Garden Inn, the third general contractor on

this massive project began construction on the

Marriott Townplace Suites. The Townplace Suites is one

of Marriott’s extended stay hotel brands, in which every

unit has a living room, kitchen and a bedroom. In May of

2009, Marriott awarded this hotel with the prestigious

“Opening of the Year” award. This award is one of

Marriot’s top annual brand awards based on exceptional

performance in multiple categories. We are proud to have

received this honor on two other hotel projects as well.

Soon after construction began on the Townplace Suites,

a fourth general contractor mobilized and began

construction on the five-story parking garage and the

attached 20,000 square feet of retail space. In preparation

for the fifth general contractor to mobilize onsite, Stellar was

contracted to construct the building pad for the Homewood

Suites project. The entire site for this project required 10 feet

of unsuitable soils to be removed and replaced with structural

fill. Upon completion of the sitework, the fifth and final

general contractor commenced construction.

While managing a project of this magnitude has its challenges,

there was nothing more rewarding for Stellar than to successfully

manage five general contractors on the same site, at the same time,

and have all of the projects finish on time and within budget.
